00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:08.400
man how did people live before tech news it seemed so crazy i

00:00:05.839 --> 00:00:13.440
think they like hunted animals probably

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:15.360
sucks ever since the slow

00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:19.439
painful death of the Windows phone back in 2017 microsoft has stayed away from

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:23.519
the mobile world congress better to suppress those nasty

00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:27.439
nasty memories but now the company has sent out invitations to its press

00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:31.439
conference at the trade show in february that's on the 24th where we may get a

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:35.200
look at the second generation hololens one of the events hosts will be

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:39.120
technical fellow alex kipman who is best known as the leader of microsoft's mixed

00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:44.160
reality efforts and one of the brains behind hololens i guess anyone who wears

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:48.320
it their brain is behind hololens tag you want to get stupid about it

00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:52.160
a new hololens would make sense the first one came out way back in 2015 and

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:56.640
we've seen more competitors emerge in the meantime like magic leap and

00:00:54.800 --> 00:01:00.480
real they need an apostrophe they want me to say it properly stock of the

00:00:58.480 --> 00:01:04.159
original hololens units has been unavailable for more than a month now

00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:11.439
which lends even more credence to the idea that we will in fact see a hololens

00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:13.680
2 at mwc or maybe we'll see a foldable

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:18.560
surface device microsoft is reportedly working on adapting Windows 10 to better

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:23.600
suit the new class of devices or maybe a portable xbox james settle down

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:29.759
come on your pills the epic game store has stirred a bit of

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:35.439
controversy concerning its policy on influencers hey

00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:37.119
me medu sergey gaoyankin the store's

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:41.119
director of publishing strategy was heard on a russian language podcast

00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:45.600
discussing the store's policy on developers paying influencers to market

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:49.920
their games he allegedly said indie devs would pay a 20 cut for influencer

00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:54.880
marketing while bigger studios would only pay a 5 cut he later clarified his

00:01:52.960 --> 00:02:00.320
comments on twitter saying the backlash was due to a mistranslation duh right

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:04.159
developers won't be required to spend a certain amount of money on influencer

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:07.920
marketing but they will be able to in a way that will help both smaller

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:11.920
developers and smaller influencers like twitch streamers by giving them a five

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:16.239
percent cut if a viewer makes a purchase through their link the program called

00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:20.800
supporter creator is designed to help smaller devs get the same access to

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.640
creators that only big publishers can afford and it was actually used to get

00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:29.760
fortnite to be as popular as it is today so maybe that information is enough to let

00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:33.599
you judge whether you're for or against the program or whether you don't care

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:38.160
and we should just move on to the next story

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.959
a california judge has ruled that the police cannot force people to unlock

00:02:40.959 --> 00:02:48.959
their phones using biometric options like a fingerprint or face or eye scans

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:51.040
even with a warrant previously unlocking

00:02:48.959 --> 00:02:56.560
phones using passcodes was protected but this ruling extends protection beyond

00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.560
two biometrics magistrate judge candice westmore said that government requests

00:02:58.239 --> 00:03:04.480
to unlock devices run a foul of the fourth and fifth amendments which

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.080
protect against unreasonable searches and self-incrimination respectively

00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:12.640
supporters of the ruling celebrated as an attempt to bring the law up to speed

00:03:10.239 --> 00:03:16.400
with technology but critics say that it could prevent officials from finding

00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:21.040
truly incriminating evidence like what if someone has their system font set to

00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:24.560
comic sans but we can't see it and they're doing unironically you can't

00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:27.280
just let a monster like that roam free oh god

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:36.239
now it's time for the quick bits brought to you by something less creepy the mass

00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:38.319
drops sennheiser hd 6xx headphones

00:03:36.239 --> 00:03:43.040

sold they're based on the hd650 which delivers balanced mids and a natural

00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:53.519
sounding boost community feedback led mass shop and sennheiser to add a

00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:57.840
detachable six foot cable in place of the original 10 foot one that's just too

00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:01.920
long unless i'm on my couch and the tv that's too long but now it's only six

00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:08.239
feet the headset comes with sennheiser's dependable long-term support get yours

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:11.040
today by joining the drop at the link

00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:16.320
below google pixel fans been excited by leaks of the pixel 3 lite and pixel 3

00:04:13.519 --> 00:04:22.160
light xl but the leaked specs might dampen spirits a bit the leak indicates

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.880
the pixel 3 light runs a snapdragon 710

00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:29.919
processor a lower powered model than the snapdragon 845 in the regular pixel 3

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:35.600
and 3 xl so it looks like google isn't taking a cue from apple's iphone 10r and

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:40.840
10s which have the same processor disappoint let's hope at the very least

00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:40.960
that the pixel 3 lights have

00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:47.120
calories it you're not fewer watch me

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:54.639
Intel is planning on selling a processor called the i9 99 90 xe 9990xc with 14

00:04:52.400 --> 00:04:59.520
cores and 28 threads four cores fewer than the 9980xe

00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:03.280
but a beastly clock speed between four and five gigahertz the company

00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:07.280
apparently thinks it's special enough that it won't actually be selling it

00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:12.000
directly system builders will have to bid for the chips in online

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:16.560
actions in bastion just kidding normal auctions held online the world over

00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:21.600
these auctions are gonna be held each quarter uh the chips also don't have any

00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:26.160
warranty which is one way to drum up some hype i guess i mean we we reported

00:05:23.919 --> 00:05:30.639
on it here it is it's working we're part of the problem sony has finally

00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:36.560

a company called william has shown off a

00:05:58.960 --> 00:06:06.880
bluetooth sensor that doesn't have a battery it collects energy from ambient

00:06:04.479 --> 00:06:10.800
radio signals like wi-fi cellular and bluetooth that's right it harvests

00:06:08.880 --> 00:06:16.080
bluetooth energy in order to send out bluetooth energy it's like a perpetual
